1. Nest boxes are a great way to provide a safe home for pigeons and other hole-nesting birds. They can also serve as a great educational tool for students of all ages. They are easy to build and can be designed to attract different species of bird. Using the right pigeon nest box can result in calmer pigeons, easier breeding, and even faster return times for homing pigeons. However, it is important to understand the 'dos and don'ts' of pigeon nest boxes before you start building them.

3. Throughout most of the world, natural breeding sites for hole-nesting birds are in decline (Bertin et al., 2010). In urban areas, the removal of old trees and modernization of buildings deprives the guild of hole-nesting species of suitable nesting cavities. In Xét nghiệm bệnh xã hội khánh hòa , nest boxes are an excellent way to promote colonization by such species and to compensate for habitat loss.

5. In addition, nest boxes can help reduce the risk of predation for young chicks by providing a protective shelter from predators and other potential threats (Clark et al., 2015). Despite the benefits of nest boxes, they can also create competing microclimates for bird species inside the nest cup, affecting the feeding behavior of the birds and potentially the parasite levels in the nest.

7. A variety of new plastic nest boxes has recently become commercially available, ranging in dimensions and shape (Pearce Environment, 2014). However, little is known about the microclimates within these different types of nest boxes or how this might affect the success and health of young birds.

9.  xét nghiệm giun sán nha trang have found that the use of different kinds of nest boxes can increase the species diversity of hole-nesting birds in anthropogenic environments, and that their presence can be especially effective in urban parks and other built-up environments. Nest boxes can also compensate for habitat losses due to forestry management, the scarcity of tree hollows and natural damage to holes (Jokimaki et al., 1999; Remm et al., 2006).

11. The research site used in this study was Betty Daw’s Wood, a long-term nest-box site in Gloucestershire, England (51deg57N, 002deg26W), that has contained wooden nest boxes since 1947 and is occupied by blue tits Parus major and great tits P. major (Cumber, 1964). The experimental nest boxes were made of either wooden or plastic material.
12.  
13. All nests were inspected weekly during the season and each box was randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups when nest building began in April 2013. Herb treatment involved adding 1 g of crushed Lavandula stoechas, Santolina chamaecyparissus or Helichrysum italicum leaves underneath each nest cup to prevent the birds from disturbing their eggs or hatchlings. Control nest cups were filled with moss that had been harvested from nearby woodland.
14.  
15. The bacterial loads from the nest cup swabs were significantly lower in the wooden boxes than in the plastic ones, and the number of chicks hatched was also much higher in the wooden boxes. This difference may be related to the bactericidal effects of these herb species, or to the more humid conditions in the wooden nest boxes, which could allow the decomposition of organic materials and prevent stagnation of the nidicolous fleas.
